Taste the World’s Most Award-Winning Coffee at Intelligentsia’s Los Angeles
Cafe
Last May, Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea purchased an auction lot of Hacienda
la Esmeralda’s famed Geisha coffee. This exquisite offering won Best of
Panama in 2004, 2005, 2006, and again this year in 2007 and garnered $130
per pound, the highest amount ever paid for coffee at auction. On November
15th, Los Angelenos will have a chance to taste this storied brew and judge
for themselves whether it measures up.
On Thursday, November 15, 2007, at 7:00 p.m., Intelligentsia Coffee Buyer
Geoff Watts will present Hacienda la Esmeralda at Intelligentsia’s Silver
Lake Coffeebar, located at 3922 West Sunset Boulevard. Admission is free.
Guests will receive samples of this unique and rare coffee, freshly brewed
to order on Intelligentsia’s Clover coffee machine.
A very limited quantity of the auction-winning Esmeralda will be available
for purchase at the event and for a short time following. The coffee will
sell for $99.00 per half pound and $55.00 per quarter pound.
Reservations for the preview party are not needed and more information can
be found at
www.intelligentsiacoffee.com.
Hors d’oeuvres and wine will also be served.
Come and enjoy - the Esmeralda is truly spectacular.
